I'm an enthusiastic of programming languages and some time ago I've found about the Lisp world. I must say that those concepts behind all those dialects really attract me. Unfortunately the lack of time keeps preventing me from dedicating more time to study Lisp, in which I'm still a beginner, although I have some experience with several other languages. I would really love to learn more about it and contribute to help other people with it in the future. In my opinion the resources available are a bit "complicated" for beginners, it would be great having something like "Lisp from the very beginning" explaining everything related to REPL, IDEs/programming environments, giving examples, showing experiences, what it does, what could be done. Do you guys feel it makes sense putting some effort in that direction?

I actually found Practical Common Lisp to be very useful. Prior to that, I'd done various bits of scripting and programming in unix shell, SQL, Perl and PHP, so I wasn't a total beginner to programming. However, it's the best introduction to Lisp itself I've found.

After that, it'll be worth looking up Paul Graham's On Lisp,and the Hyperspec, which is available from Lispworks's site.
